Patch Notes
Patch 4.24.774 (The Age of Pirates)
GAMEPLAY
- Scout mechanic has changed
- Scouts now have a chance to cause a treasure to spawn near the planet they're stationed on
- The old buff from Scouts has been removed and they no longer affect Artifact rarity chance
- More scouts decrease the time between chances to get a Treasure spawn, the decrease is multiplicative and diminishing, and can never reach 0
- A new ship type, the Protector, has been added
- The Protector will defend shipping lanes in the system, reducing the risk of NPC pirate attacks and lost cargo
- Protectors will also try to defend the planet they are stationed on in case it comes under attack
- Protectors are weak swarm-type craft and will not be enough on their own to defend against a fleet targeting a planet, but may supplement planetary defenses
- Two new Artifact modifiers have been added: Suppression, and Conformity
- Two new Artifact base types have been added: Astra, and Caelis
- One new Creator Artifact has been added: Amber Fragment
- One new Primal Artifact has been added: Amber Shard
- One new Creator Artifact has been added: Amber Piece
- Drop chance of Creator, Primal, and Nephilic Artifacts has been increased slightly
- NPCs can once again attack any planet that has begun construction of, or finished, a Space Elevator
- Slightly increased munitions usage by planetary defense installations
- Shard transmutation mechanic available in Temples
- Each finished Space Elevator now provide +3% to all production output on the planet, reaching +36% when all 12 elevators are complete
- Each Powerplant now provide +3% to all production output
INTERFACE
- Greatly enhanced the modifier overview when crafting Artifacts
- Buttons for several features which are not yet in the game have been hidden to avoid confusion, ex. Planetary Ring
SYSTEM
- Some improvements to startup time
BUGS
- Fixed S.I.E.Ves not giving Ore if you sign in away from your Capital
- Fixed S.I.E.Ves Ore bonus incorrectly multiplied by planetary Artifacts Ore production output resulting in very small values
